This is an extremely comprehensive book about the history of women's fell (and endurance) running. It's still quite baffling that those pioneering women who started to change the sport (and the dialogue that went with it) was only 50 years ago.

Whilst I like being out, I'm not a fell or ultra marathon runner but I did appreciate the book. I love that there is no age restriction either, runners still competing in incredibly inspiring races into their veteran years!

Comprehensively written, marked down because of the repetition. At times it was a bit of a slog, but if you're interested in the sport, I'm certain you'll love it.

I've learned so much reading this, especially to keep pushing regardless of who tells you, you can't.

I loved reading this over a weekend. Being a runner myself, I found this to be a fascinating book which tells the story of the acceptance of women over time into middle and long distance running.

A fascinating read which I recommend to anyone interested in running or sports books in general. Highly recommended!

A really comprehensive history of fell running, with a nice mix of broad overviews and individual portraits. I enjoyed finding out so much about a rarely-mentioned aspect of sport and the outdoors - the exclusion of women and attempts to simply make it hard work for women to participate, and I now have a 'famous woman' from my home town - obviously not mentioned in any local history books which only mention men - thank you!
